    The House of Love - "In A Room" (cover)

    Recorded this cover of House of Love's "In A Room" kinda hastily yesterday, just for fun, couldn't get the tune out of my head. What do you think? http://www.sendspace.com/file/2snf56

    Written and recorded this weekend: "Til We're Dead"

    This one turned out surprisingly upbeat and jaunty. Upbeat I guess if you ignore the lyrics. Anyway, it's got: Hammond organ, acoustic guitar, glockenspiel, bass, drums, and some epic "Wooo-ooo-ooooh" backup vocals. As always, any and all feedback much appreciated. John Charpentier - 'Til...

    "Fever Dream" -- I guess it's 'indie'?

    Written and recorded in one go yesterday afternoon from butter-fingered germination to uploaded mp3. Rhodes, acoustic guitar, programmed drums, sub-par electric solo, vocals, etc. all by me. Not an especially happy song but I'm happy enough with the recording to share and I can't remember the...

    Nick Drake - "Place to Be"

    Only the brave or shameless attempt to cover Nick Drake. With all due humility and warning given, please take a listen and let me know what you think of the performance and mix. I know it can't compare, but it's the first time I've attempted to record a song of his and would like to get some...

    My Townes Van Zandt cover...

    This is the first recording I've made in a long time. It's also my first using new monitors, new mics, etc. It's a cover of a beautiful Townes Van Zandt song and I really don't do it justice; the timbre of my voice isn't to my liking, the doubled guitars aren't properly sync'ed, and no mere...

    Re: DSP units/cards...

    Re: DSP units/cards... I'm looking to take some of the CPU load off of my system and have been thinking about purchasing some sort of dedicated DSP unit or card. It seems to me that these devices only use proprietary plugins and probably cannot, for example, do the work of some third party VST...

    Question re: multitracking...

    So I recently purchased new KRK V4 monitors and a couple of new mics and am looking forward to recording with them. I've run into a snag with my new setup though when recording multiple tracks. I'm running mic into mixer into PCI card and from the card out to the monitors, but when I want to...
